The National Retail Federation’s “Big Show” returns to New York City on 11~13 January 2026, and as usual we’ll be there to run some informal store tours.
The schedule, in conjunction with Michel Koch, is:
- Saturday, 10 January – VENDORS walk. A chance to see the best stores before you’re locked in the Javits for 3 days. This way you can chat to visitors knowing you’ve at least seen the best and most relevant store. DM for details.
- Sunday 11 January – booked out
- Tuesday 13 January – booked out
- Wednesday 14 January – “survivor’s wander”. Breakfast and then walking tour, for Europeans staying an extra day. Message me for info.
- Back From event in Lille (en francais et anglais), 20 January
- Post-NRF livestream, 27 January at 2pm GMT (Linkedin Live)
If you’d like to join in, or have any questions, drop Ian Jindal a note via [email protected].
You can see the selected stores at https://retailx.net/newyork/nrf2026/ and within that you’ll see filters for area tours or by type.
Store write-ups will be posted on www.ianjindal.com and on Linkedin.
Access to the database is free – you will be asked to ‘log in with Linkedin’ to access the individual stores, but there is no fee for access.
